He entered this morning’s final round of the RBC Canadian Open trailing greatly, nine strokes off the leader Brandt Snedeker at even par. He fared well on the front nine, recording a bogey-free 32. When he got to the back nine though, specifically on the 13th hole, he really turned on the jets.
That’s right, Ogilvy closed out his round with two birdies, two eagles and two pars, shaving an extra six strokes off his score. He finished with a nine-under 63, one of three players to do so on Sunday at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario.
